BTW, I noticed you have Stompgrips on your bike; how are you liking them? Any issues?
True..I"ll try to smooth it out that way. I talked to Brett who works for product support at Alpinestars in Cali and he wants me to send them to him for them to look at. I don't want to do that cause this is my only pair of gloves and I never ride without them on..and weather is nice so..who know how long I will be gloveless for.

As for stompgrips....I like them alot but installing them without getting bubbles is really hard. I followed the directions to a T and they stuck on well for a good week. Now the middle is a giant bubble but the sides are sealed on tight still. Looks like **** but still do wat they are meant to do. I love the extra grip and control its gives . HOpe that helps..also look at techspec..I might just give that a try once my stompgrips fall off

I hit the stomp-grips with a high heat hairdryer as soon as i put them on, make sure u clean the surface really well, if u use alcohol make sure you wipe it down after, myne stuck on like a dream not sure their ever coming off!!

A few years ago I learned how to properly apply window tint. I'm thinking that using the same "wet" application method would work pretty good for these pads.
For that air bubble, a carefully placed slit with a razor would allow the trapped air to escape.
